[0048] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a shelf assembly method, including the following steps:

[0050] S1: Assemble multiple column pieces 1;

[0051] The above steps, specifically in this embodiment, refer to... Figure 1The column plate 1 includes two support columns 11 and multiple cross braces 12. The two support columns 11 are spaced apart in the vertical direction and extend in the second horizontal direction. The multiple cross braces 12 are spaced apart in the second horizontal direction, and each cross brace 12 is connected between the two support columns 11. The structure is easy to assemble and the materials are readily available, which has good economic benefits.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, two cross braces 12 are provided; in other embodiments, the specific number of cross braces 12 can be set as needed, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0053] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figure 1 The upright plate 1 also includes multiple diagonal braces 13, which are connected between two support columns 11 to improve the structural stability of the upright plate 1, thereby enhancing the stability of the shelving. Specifically, the number of diagonal braces 13 can be set as needed.

[0054] S2: Set up support structure 2 and place column plate 1 on support structure 2;

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple column pieces 1 are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction, combined with Figure 3 Each upright piece 1 extends along a second horizontal direction, with the first horizontal direction perpendicular to the second horizontal direction. The support structure 2 has a first state capable of limiting the upright piece 1 and a second state where the upright piece 1 is not limited. The upright piece 1 is placed on multiple support structures 2, and the multiple support structures 2 are adjusted to the first state, continuing with the following... Figure 3 Multiple support structures 2 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the column piece 1 to ensure the stability of the column piece 1 in support and fixation.

[0056] For example, in this embodiment, four column pieces 1 are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction, and each column piece 1 is provided with three support structures 2. The three support structures 2 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support structure 2 includes a base 21 and a limiting member 22. The base 21 is supported on the ground, and the limiting member 22 is detachably mounted on the base 21. A limiting groove 220 is formed at the end of the limiting member 22 away from the base 21. Vertically, one side of the upright piece 1 abuts against the base 21, and the other side abuts against the limiting groove 220, thus limiting the upright piece 1—this is the first state of the support structure 2. Removing the limiting member 22 switches the support structure 2 to the second state, where the upright piece 1 is not limited. This operation is simple and convenient, and it also prevents the upright piece 1 from tipping over, ensuring the assembly efficiency of the shelving module.

[0058] For example, in this embodiment, the end of the limiting member 22 away from the base 21 is C-shaped.

[0059] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The support structure 2 also includes a telescopic mechanism 23, which is disposed between the base 21 and the limiting member 22 and is used to drive the limiting member 22 to move vertically. With the above configuration, by adjusting the position of the limiting member 22 vertically, the distance between the bottom of the limiting groove 220 and the base 21 can be adjusted to accommodate the assembly of column pieces 1 of different specifications, thus broadening its applicability.

[0060] Specifically, the limiting member 22 is inserted into the output end of the telescopic mechanism 23, or is detachably installed at the output end of the telescopic mechanism 23 by means of fasteners such as bolts.

[0061] For example, the telescopic mechanism 23 is a pneumatic rod commonly used in the art, which has the advantages of simple structure, convenient adjustment, good safety and long service life. Alternatively, in other embodiments, it can also be a hydraulic rod or the like.

[0062] Optionally, the base 21 is provided with multiple casters (not shown in the figure) on its bottom side. These casters have a movable locked state and a non-movable locked state. This arrangement facilitates the movement of the support structure 2 and improves the efficiency of shelf assembly. Specifically, the casters are existing devices already disclosed in the prior art, and their specific structure and principle are as described in the prior art, and will not be repeated here.

[0063] Optionally, the base 21 includes two fixing plates 211 and multiple connectors 212. The two fixing plates 211 are spaced apart, and each connector 212 is connected between the two fixing plates 211. A limiting member 22 is disposed on the connector 212, and the column piece 1 abuts against the connector 212. It is easy to obtain materials, convenient to assemble, economical, and reusable.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connector 212 is rod-shaped, and three connectors 212 are provided. The three connectors 212 are distributed in a triangle between the two fixed plates 211. The telescopic mechanism 23 is disposed between two adjacent connectors 212, and the limiting member 22 is disposed at the moving end of the telescopic mechanism 23. In other embodiments, the connector 212 may also be plate-shaped, and the number of connectors 212 may be set as needed, without specific limitation here.

[0065] Furthermore, the side of the connector 212 facing the column plate 1 is provided with an anti-slip structure. Specifically, the anti-slip structure is an anti-slip pad, such as a rubber pad, provided on the side of the connector 212 facing the column plate 1; or, the anti-slip structure is an anti-slip protrusion provided on the side of the connector 212 facing the column plate 1. The anti-slip protrusion can be dot-shaped protrusions or textured protrusions of any shape, the function of which is to increase the friction between the connector 212 and the column plate 1. The specific structural form is similar to that in the prior art, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment, as long as it can increase friction.

[0066] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fixing plate 211 is triangular, which is easy to handle and install. Compared with other shaped plates, the triangular plate can make more efficient use of materials and reduce material waste. While ensuring performance, it achieves better results with less material, thereby reducing construction costs.

[0067] S3: Install crossbeam assembly 3;

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple beam assemblies 3 are spaced apart on the upright plate 1 along the second horizontal direction. Each beam assembly 3 includes two beams 31 spaced apart on both sides of the upright plate 1 along the vertical direction, and each beam 31 is detachably connected to the upright plate 1 to complete the assembly of the shelf module.

[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support column 11 of the upright plate 1 has a first connecting hole, and the crossbeam 31 has a second connecting hole. Fasteners pass through the second connecting hole and are screwed into the first connecting hole to achieve a detachable connection between the crossbeam 31 and the upright plate 1. Exemplarily, the first connecting hole is a threaded hole, the second connecting hole is a through hole, and the fastener is a bolt.

[0070] Optionally, the beam 31 is bent into a sigma beam by sheet metal to enhance the bending resistance of the beam 31, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and load-bearing capacity of the rack.

[0071] S4: Adjust support structure 2 to the second state and use external hoisting equipment to hoist the rack module to the installation position.

[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, the above steps involve removing the limiting member 22 of each support structure 2 to release the restriction on the upright column 1. Then, external hoisting equipment is used to hoist the assembled rack module to the installation position, which can greatly reduce the amount of high-altitude work and improve operational safety and assembly efficiency.

[0073] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
